A once-popular mall staple is closing hundreds of stores.

Game Stop announced a flurry of store closings, with nearly 300 stores either already closed or set to close.

The closures come as the gaming retailer plans to downsize.

In the last fiscal year, Game Stop closed 590 U.S. stores.

Game Stop stated in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it would close a “significant number of additional stores” in the current fiscal year.

As of the beginning of last year, Game Stop operated 2,325 stores in the United States.

The New York State Gaming Commission has unanimously approved licenses for three new casinos in New York City. The decision paves the way for Bally’s in the Bronx, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park near Citi Field, and Resorts World near the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens to begin development. 

According to Gaming Commission Chairman Bryan O’Dwyer, the licensing fees are expected to generate $1.5 billion for the state.

The Hard Rock Metropolitan Park, a significant part of the approved projects, is a partnership between Hard Rock International and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen. The $8.1 billion project will transform 50 acres of parking lots around Citi Field into a large-scale entertainment and gaming complex.

The complex will feature a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, a Hard Rock Live concert center, multiple restaurants and bars, a retail store, and a 25-acre public park. Jim Allen, CEO of Hard Rock International, expressed excitement about extending their reputation as a world-class entertainment company to Queens.
